Recommended Posts

Good or you also u no it!!!

thank you. Just found out that I need one more thing. I have to have 2 pre-ops and 2 post-ops with the dietitian. There is always something... lol. I guess that is good, but not for the wallet. I have to pay for this service. Insurance wants it, but I have to pay for it. Really?

I completely understand I have a 5,000 deductible I am trying to reach! Just shelled out a thou out of my pocket for egd! Now because of something else dr found I have to have ultrasound scope in stomach! I am hoping that the hospital will work with me on pmt arrangements on the next thing also! But on a great note I had my psych eval today and I am cleared now for cardiac and one nut class! Whew makes me tired looking at it!

The insurance company has called my surgeon's office twice asking for the request for authorization. They were supposed to send all the documents on the 17th. I'm getting nervous now. I just want to hear "you're approved and your date is..."

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
